Description Doug Laidlaw 2016-10-25 07:57:23 CEST
Description of problem:
After rsnapshot has completed a backup as hourly.0, I believe that it should run the command "touch hourly.0".  This may be because it can take a while to complete hourly.0, and the timestamp when it started is fairly old.  I am told that the timestamp is fairly meaningless, anyway.

Now, in Cauldron, I am seeing:

"[25/Oct/2016:16:15:17] /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --exclude=*.iso* --exclude=/home/doug/.beagle/ --exclude=/home/doug/Download/ --exclude=/home/doug/torrentsdown/ --exclude=/home/doug/jigsaws/ --exclude=/home/doug/.VirtualBox/ --exclude=/home/doug/VirtualBox?VMs/ --exclude=/home/doug/.ccache/ --exclude=/home/doug/.electricsheep/ --exclude=/home/doug/.thumbnails/ --exclude=/home/doug/storage/ /home/doug /media/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.0/localhost/
[25/Oct/2016:16:25:50] mkdir -m 0755 -p /media/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.0/
[25/Oct/2016:16:25:50] /usr/bin/rsnapshot hourly: ERROR: Could not mkpath("/media/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.0/", 0, 0755);
[25/Oct/2016:16:25:50] rm -f /var/run/rsnapshot.pid"

The program finishes the job, and the backup is complete, then it tries to create hourly.0 again.  Naturally, it can't.

Because the backup itself is O.K., I rate this bug as low priority.

I just ran rsnapshot from a root prompt in an Xterm.  It finished up as it should:

[25/Oct/2016:20:19:55] touch /media/backup/rsnapshot/hourly.0/
[25/Oct/2016:20:19:55] rm -f /var/run/rsnapshot.pid
[25/Oct/2016:20:19:55] /usr/bin/rsnapshot -v hourly: completed successfully

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package.

Closing this as invalid.  I had moved my system to another drive, and that installation had quite a few issues.  I am now back using the drive I left (everything was still there) and this bug has disappeared.
